Beer of the week: Ballast Point, The Commodore

The Commodore is an American style stout with a 6.50% ABV. It pours an opaque black with a thick mocha head. This stout has a nice roasted malt aroma accompanied by chocolate and coffee at the finish. The taste is very similar to the nose, with a roasted malt flavor up front followed by chocolate and coffee. There are hints of burnt caramel and tobacco that are brought out in the flavor, it’s a very earthy and smooth beer. The Commodore is a nice and simple American stout and sometimes that’s the best. I give this one 8.8 pints out of 10, drink up!
